Notes:  A fair quality game from the days when hockey was still fast and rough.  The Rockies, who actually made it to the playoffs, give the Flyers a good match but surrender the goal after only 23 seconds in OT.  They would go on to lose the series, their one and only playoff year until they moved to New Jersey.

Thanks Mike!
